My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！-Chapter 357 - 356

Chapter 356

Victoria thought of this and left contentedly…

….

But just after she left, the voice of Ellis came from behind again.

“It’s about Keera…”

Uncle Olsen teased wearily. “What now? Have you found out if she’s the illegitimate daughter of your dad or your second uncle?”

Ellis’s mouth twitched slightly. “Well, I’ll tell you in person when you come back!”

Lest he get too excited and rush back overnight…

Uncle Olsen just grunted and complained, “Now you’ve learned to be mysterious?”

Listening to his voice, Ellis felt his mood seemed somewhat okay, so he asked, “How’s your business going? Any news of Lady South?”

Upon hearing this, Uncle Olsen fell silent.

His silence was the best answer.

Ellis broke the silence. “You should come home and rest for a few days! It’s not an urgent matter. No matter what, she’s still on earth. She can’t possibly have escaped to outer space, right?”

Uncle Olsen said, “Got it.”

Ellis ended the call, looking worried.

Uncle Olsen had searched for so long without finding her. Could those people have killed her?

At the thought of this possibility, Ellis felt his mood grow heavier.

He cast a glance back toward the bridal chamber and strode in…

Just as he entered, he saw Mary had already removed her makeup and wedding dress, exchanging them for a conservatively styled nightgown.

Seeing him enter, Mary cast her eyes down. “You take the bed. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Her ice-cold demeanor irritated Ellis, and he scoffed. “Mary, I didn’t marry you to be a decoration!”

Mary stiffened.

Ellis walked to the bed. “Tonight is our wedding night. Surely you wouldn’t want to upset me, would you?”

Mary’s face tensed. “What do you want?”

Ellis lowered his gaze. “If you don’t want a divorce, then you’d better please me! We’re supposed to be celebrating, not mourning. Who gave you permission to scowl?”

Mary clenched her fists tightly.

Did this man truly not know why she was so cold?

After such humiliation, how could she possibly greet him with a smile?

She clenched her fists tightly and suddenly said, “Ellis, since you don’t trust me that much, let’s get a divorce after the child is born!”

Ellis frowned upon hearing this, “What?”

She had orchestrated this big charade just to marry him, hadn’t she?

A divorce?

While he was pondering, he saw Mary walk over to the side and suddenly pull out two divorce papers from her bag.

On those papers, it was clearly stated that she’d leave with the child after giving birth without taking a cent. She had already signed her name in the designated spot.

Her demeanor didn’t seem feigned.

Ellis was momentarily stunned, then he stood up abruptly. “Do you really want a divorce?”

Mary nodded. “This marriage is a constraint for both of us. You don’t want to be cuckolded, so wait for the child to be born, and then we can divorce.”

She thought, “Nine months should be enough time for Keera to complete her mission, right?”

By then, she would truly be free…

While thinking of this, Mary saw Ellis suddenly toss the divorce agreements onto the table. “Mary, what game are you playing? After finally marrying me, would you be willing to let go and divorce me? Is this a stratagem to retreat in order to advance?”

Seeing his reaction, Mary gave a bitter smile. “I’ve already signed the divorce papers; what games could I possibly play?”

Ellis sneered. “Who knows? You went to great lengths to marry me, and on our wedding night, you want a divorce… Don’t you think that’s strange? Maybe there’s a trap in this contract. I’ll have my lawyer look at it before we proceed!”

With those words, he took the contract and walked out.

At the doorway, he gave a cold laugh, as if to salvage his pride, and said fiercely, “Mary, you’re truly unworthy of Mrs. Olsen’s position! You’re not planning to taint the Olsen family’s bloodline with this child. At least you have that much self-awareness!”

Leaving that remark behind, he strode away.

Mary wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt that Ellis seemed somewhat disheveled, as if he was fleeing from something. f𝐫e𝚎𝘄eb𝚗o𝐯𝐞𝐥.𝐜𝚘m

But how could that be? He didn’t even want to marry her in the first place, so why would he be reluctant to divorce?

Mary gave a bitter smile.

She sat on the bed and looked around.

The room was decorated with happiness, and the entire bridal chamber was filled with joy, but on such a wedding night, she was alone.

Indeed, such a bride was pitiful.

Ellis left the bridal chamber and drove straight out.

He went to a bar, found a private room, and then called his lawyer over, tossing the contract at him. “Take a look at this for me. Is there any trap in here?”

The lawyer, slightly bewildered from being summoned in the middle of the night, took the two-page contract and read it quickly. “There’s no trap. This contract is very favorable to you. Mrs. Davis is leaving without taking anything with her except the child. She won’t take anything else that belongs to you.”

Ellis was stunned. “She’s serious?”

The lawyer was puzzled. “Mr. Ellis, what do you mean?”

Ellis cast his gaze downward, remaining silent.

Why did Mary want a divorce?

Was it because once the child was born, a DNA test could be done, and so there would be leverage if the child wasn’t his? When the time came for her to leave, she would indeed be getting away scot-free.

Thinking about this, Ellis slammed his glass down onto the table furiously.

What was she really trying to say?!

Ellis raked his fingers through his hair, feeling like he must be going crazy.

Thinking of Mary’s resolute manner and the way she assuredly spoke of the child being his every time, he suddenly began to doubt himself.

Could the child really be his?

But what about the diagnosis?

Ellis tapped his slender fingers against the couch, thinking back to when he was 18 years old and the medical check-up that had initially diagnosed him with oligospermia.

He had been in treatment ever since, and for this reason, he seldom rode his beloved horses anymore… But it was to no avail. The treatment had no effect. That also led him to remain unmarried at this age…

Could there have been a mistake in the hospital’s diagnosis?

He had always been examined and treated at the hospital owned by his family because he wanted to keep this condition private and not let it impact his image.

With this thought, Ellis frowned.

Seeing his expression, the lawyer beside him couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Ellis? If there’s nothing else, may I leave now?”

Ellis suddenly said, “Do you know of any reliable andrology clinics?”

The lawyer was taken aback by this question. “Yes, what about it?”

Ellis suddenly looked down. “Find one for me now. I’m going to get tested tonight!”
